have to ask.... whats the mixture like?
Got to taste better than it looks or alludes to I hope.

I have no idea. The tin was my godmother’s dad’s.

I've always really like the old painted tins of Presbyterian Mixture.

Ugly labels! That’ll stop them from smoking it! We’re brilliant!

Good lort, and deer gawd, both.

That would be perfect if it included the blend contents.

Maybe because it’s what I started with years ago, it just screams tobacco.

As a graphic designer, I have a fondness for clean designs like this one for Mac Baren. I also appreciate Peterson Early Morning Pipe

I was always disappointed that Mac Baren's tobacco could not live up to their design sensibilities.

Probably wouldn’t get away with it today, but love this one. So weird.

This one's pretty awesome, and the 1st intent for this tobacco was likely rolling cigarettes. Any time smoothness is emphasized, they were often implying it wouldn't irritate your throat, as in the Pall Mall ad below. And most cigarette smokers had changed a baby at one time or another, and knew the saying, "smooth as a baby's butt." I think shaving ads played with the same marketing idea back around the same time. Anyway, it's an AWESOME find!
